AUSTRALIAN BRAVERY DECORATIONS

Awarded the Bravery Medal:

Colonel Michael McMAHON BM
On the afternoon of 11 October 2015, Colonel McMahon was involved in the rescue of several people following a fatal helicopter crash in Kabul, Afghanistan.
A British Royal Air Force Puma helicopter crashed on a road junction in Kabul in front of Colonel McMahon. He immediately ran towards the downed aircraft along with other civilians.
As he prepared to climb into the passenger compartment, fire extinguishers were activated, releasing intensely noxious fumes and smoke. He then assisted with the removal of the injured from the aircraft and their transport to the Medical Centre.
Colonel McMahon remained at the crash site and advised Medical Centre staff regarding the casualties being extracted, and ensuring the resupply of medical items to the team treating the injured.

Awarded the Commendation for Brave Conduct:

Mr Neil MAHER
On the afternoon of 12 October 2012, Mr Neil Maher rescued two girls from drowning at Gungahlin in the Australian Capital Territory.
Four friends attempted to walk across a stone wall spillway at Yerrabi Pond, which had water flowing over it, when three of the group fell into the very cold water. Whilst one person was able to make it to shore, two were swept about seventy metres into the middle of the pond. One of the girls, who was unable to swim, fell below the surface of the water before the other girl grabbed hold of her.
Mr Maher was walking with his daughter nearby when he observed the girl struggling to stay afloat in the middle of the pond. He immediately ran to the edge of the pond, dived into the water, and swam out to her.
He managed to get hold of the girl and drag her back to the bank. At this stage he realised she was holding on to another girl who was unconscious. He immediately administered CPR to the girl before both girls were rushed to hospital suffering from suspected hypothermia. They both made a full recovery.
